eCOGRA, the eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance, has announced that they now have extended their cover to sports betting, bingo and live gambling operations. With this extension the eCOGRA will add more to their list of over one hundred online casino and poker rooms that they cover.

Now all aspects of the online gambling industry will be offered the services of the eCOGRA, which includes testing, standards and monitoring services. Online casinos, poker sites and mobile gaming were already covered.

Bingo, sports betting and live gambling operations will now be able to receive the Safe and Fair eCOGRA seal of approval that is already held by over one hundred online casinos and poker rooms. Andrew Beveridge, the CEO of eCOGRA, commented: "Over the past six years we (eCONGRA)have built up a wealth of expertise and information as a result of our involvement in well over a hundred accreditation audits on many of the most successful and well-run gambling groups on the Internet.”

The Company is a non-profit that helps protect players who participate in legal online gaming. Online casinos and poker rooms that have the seal of approval have been tested by the eCONGRA and are producers of fair gaming, honest advertising and responsible operator conduct based on the requirements.
